SECOND PUZZLES
THE PUZZLE OF HOW LIFE CONTINUED ON EARTH, INSPITE OF FOSSIL PROOF OF THE GREAT FLOOD
THE HOLY BIBLE COMES TO THE RESCUE
For some scientists, how life continued to exist on earth in spite of the GREAT CATASTROPHE (the Great FLOOD), is still a puzzle. This is because, the science world has discovered the AGES AGO there was a great and sudden flood that covered the entire surface of the earth, including mountains and everything created.
For some scientists, who are yet to accept the story of Noah’s ark in the Holy Bible, South Pole, is still a puzzle. Here again, the Holy Bible comes to the rescue in the story of Noah’s Ark of the Holy Bible.
“Noah was a good man, an upright man among his contemporaries, and he walked with God. Noah fathered three sons. Shem, Ham and Japhet. God saw that the earth was corrupt and full of lawlessness. God looked at the earth: it was corrupt, for countered were the ways of all living things on earth.”
(Genesis 6: 9-12)
“God said to Noah, “I have decided that the end has come for all living things, for the earth is full of lawlessness because of human beings. So I am now about to destroy them and the earth. Make yourself an ark out of resinous wood. Make it of reeds and caulk it with pitch inside and out. This is how to make it: the length of the ark is to be three hundred cubits, its breath fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.”
(Genesis 6: 13-15)
“For my part, I am going to send the flood, the water, on earth, to destroy all living things having the breath of life under heaven; everything on earth is to perish.”
(Genesis 6: 17)
“God said to Noah, ‘Go aboard the ark, you and all your household, for you alone of your contemporaries do I see before me as an upright man. Of every clean animal you must take seven pairs, a male and a female; of the unclean animals, you must take one pair, a male and its female; and of the birds of heaven, seven pairs, a male and a female, to preserve their species throughout the earth’.”
(Genesis 7: 1-3)
“That very day Noah and his sons Shem, Ham and Japhet boarded the ark with Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons, and with them every species of wild animal, every species of cattle, every species of creeping thing that creep on the ground, every species of birds, everything that flies, everything with wings, One pair of all that was alive and had the breath of life boarded the ark with Noah, and those that went abroad were a male and female of all that was alive, and then God shut him in”
(Genesis 7: 13-16)
“The flood lasted forty days on earth. The waters swelled, lifting the ark until it floated off the ground. The waters rose, swelling higher above the ground, and the ark drifted away over the waters. The waters rose higher and higher above the ground until all the highest mountains under the whole of heaven were submerged. The waters reached their peak fifteen cubits above the submerged mountains. And all living things that stirred on earth perished; birds, cattle, wild animals, all the creatures swarming over the earth, and all human beings. Everything with the least breath of life in its nostrils, everything on dry land, died. Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; people, animals, creeping things and birds, they were wiped off the earth and only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark. The waters maintained their level on earth for a hundred and fifty days.”
(Genesis 7: 17-24)
“But God had Noah in mind, and all the wild animals and all the cattle that were with him in the ark. God sent a wind across the earth and the waters began to subside.”
(Genesis 8: 1)
“Then God said to Noah, ‘Go out of the ark, you, your wife, your sons and your son’s wives with you.’”
(Genesis 8: 15-16)
“God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, ‘Breed, multiply and fill the earth’.”
(Genesis 9: 1)
The following article is a MARVELLOUS AND MIRACULOUS SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY confirming that the story of NOAH’S ARK in the Holy Bible is authentic.
6,300 ft above sea level, in Mountains of Ararat; near Dogubeyazit, Turkey
(note: Bible deliberately said in the mountains of Ararat--found 20 mi from Mt Ararat)
On June 5th, Bible Historian and explorer Bob Cornuke led an expedition of 15 geologists, historians, archaeologists, scientists and attorneys on an exhausting mission 13,300 feet above sea level to locate and document the tremendous sections of what is thought to be Noah’s Ark located in the Ararat mountain range six hours North of Tehran, Iran. It had been essentially buried beneath the preservation of glaciers until last year when Iran recorded the hottest year on record which melted some of the snow-cap revealing 450 by 75-foot footprint of the “object.”
Noah’s Ark was claimed to be found in Northern Iran rather than Turkey. Over a thousand expeditions had previously scoured Turkey’s Mt. Ararat, but by following the precise language of the Bible, Cornuke found what is believed to be Noah’s Ark, nearly in tact. Turkey’s Mt. Ararat was incorrect because Marco Polo named the large mountain during his journeys in the 13th century. Through mapping scriptures in Genesis with ancient maps, Cornuke pieced together the clues and found where the Ararat Mountain Range made home for Noah’s Ark in Northern Iran not far from Turkey. Bob Cornuke has been at the centre of several controversies over his past findings as he has come at odds with secular scholars, but several people who I know personally were on this expedition as well as some credible, internationally known heads of Christian ministries. Cornuke and the participants are careful to not say emphatically that they found Noah’s Ark, but have taken extensive documentation to present their facts for both the public, and the Biblical and scientific communities.
After crawling on hands and knees miles above the earth’s surface in four below zero weather, the expedition found an altar, which could very well be the altar Noah built because it was made from the same materials they later found in the Ark. They found grapevines over two inches think in the area, of which the DNA from the grapes is the oldest known to man. Genesis 9:20 says that Noah planted a vineyard. But most amazing was the ark itself. It was found in sections, somewhat like a house that had collapsed over the years. Sections of petrified wood 12 to 14 feet high and 40 feet long were found. They found a huge pile of timber, thought to be floors or walls, in four-to-six foot sections.
Geologists took nine samples of the ark under the strict eye of a video team for analysis by the Smithsonian Institute. Over 23,000 feet of video was taken and will be released to the public. You can get your first glimpse of it on Fox News with John Kasich Saturday at 8:00pm Eastern time, according to the Cornuke team. The expedition members hope to spark debate over the Ark; hope to show that the Bible is accurate and true; and hope that people will come to know Christ through the truth that they have revealed. In John 8:32, Jesus said, “And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” May you be revived and energised by the possibility of this wonderful discovery that there is one God and His truth reigns forever.
Is this the real Noah's Ark? Why is more of the wood not fossilised? Because it was covered in pitch? Local weather conditions? Why didn't Ron Wyatt give pieces of the wood to others to be tested other than that one lab? Why didn't the lab report state what kind of wood it was made of? Was it gopher wood, or not? If not real the real Noah's Ark, then why is it there?
Compare this discovery with the ON-GOING SEARCH by SATELLITE of a "boat like" object on Mt Ararat.
Below is a 1949 AF picture
This was held for years in a confidential file labelled "Ararat Anomaly."

The worldwide Flood in the time of Noah is no fable! According to Scripture, God destroyed the ungodly who then lived on the earth. It is probable that this ungodly people included giants who were born from the unholy union of the descendants of Adam and the fallen angels. This probably created a gene pool which resulted in our short live spans, cancer, heart disease, etc.
All archaeological evidence supports the biblical account that a worldwide flood did happen. Countless fossilised sea creatures have been found on mountain tops. And countless fossilised creatures (including dinosaurs) have been found with food in their mouths --as if they were suddenly buried in an avalanche of rushing water and mud.
Scientists will not admit it, but their carbon dating technique is not any good at all beyond a couple of thousands of years. Because of the effect of rushing water, heavy pressure from water, and resting water -- rocks on this planet appear to be millions of years old to these unbelieving scientists and their carbon dating technique. Things fossilise much quicker than scientists will tell you. Scientists will have you believe it takes millions of years to fossilise something. Yet a fossilised pickle has been found in a canning jar, and a fossilised foot has been found inside a 1930's-1940's cowboy boot in a West Texas riverbed. See here
That's not all. Accounts of the worldwide flood come in from nearly every culture on earth. Most of these are identical. Flood accounts come in from Mayan, Persian, Aztec, Sanskrit, Chinese, Egyptian, Babylonian, Inca, Samarian, American Indian, Jewish cultures, and more. The Mayan writings say that water cleansed the earth in 3113 B.C.
2003 Satellite Image of above anomaly on Ararat taken by DigitalGlobe's QuickBird Satellite in 2003
Located in glacial ice at an altitude of 15,300 feet in 2003, some scientists say the photo suggest its length-to-width ratio is close to 6:1, similar to the description in the Book of Genesis. Same anomaly as the 1949 image above. Satellite image of 'Ararat Anomaly,' taken by DigitalGlobe's QuickBird Satellite in 2003.
The anomaly remains ensconced in glacial ice at an altitude of 15,300 feet, and Porcher Taylor a past Washington intelligence analyst says the photos suggest its length-to-width ratio is close to 6:1, as indicated in the Book of Genesis.
While it's quite possible the item of interest could simply be a natural ridge of rock, snow and ice, Taylor says there's also a chance it could be something man made.
"I had no preconceived notions or agendas when I began this in 1993 as to what I was looking for," he said. "I maintain that if it is the remains of something man made and potentially nautical, then it's potentially something of biblical proportions."

There’s a fully detailed account on the discovery of Noah’s Ark by Ron Wyatt and a lot more outstanding on the full article page.
Below is his closing segment, one that truly captures the point of this discourse.
Who Decides if It is the ARK?
What do real archaeologists say about this?—do they think its the ark? Well, there's no better answer than the one Richard Rives gives: "Leading archaeologists and scientists say that the earth is millions of years old and that you and I descended from a monkey. It is our policy to ONLY ask experts in the various fields to state facts about the evidence, such as the fact that there is organic carbon in the specimens from the ark in an amount consistent with the presence of once living matter, such as decayed wood. We don't ask anyone to say this is Noah's Ark.
There comes a time when people have to learn to think for themselves. We've become lazy—we want to be told what to think; we want someone to lay it all out for us. Life gets comfortable—if we learn that Noah's Ark really existed, we may have to adjust some of our other thinking and that may not be a real pleasant prospect.
There is the great example that we should never forget—the people of Christ's time wanted a Messiah that was a regal king—a glorious leader who would give them a wonderful kingdom on earth. They wouldn't accept the Messiah that God sent to them. He didn't match their expectations or their wants. And so it is with Noah's Ark. The "learned men," like the leading religious leaders of old Jerusalem, expect and want a "glorious barge-shaped ship" high on the volcanic peak of Mt. Ararat. They won't accept the fragile remains He arranged to be preserved in the manner and location that HE chose. 'Well, if these important people say its not the ark, then it must not be." And after all, what does it really matter if the ark is really found? It matters.
Something else that we must remember—there were many, many common, simple-minded people in Christ's time who accepted Him as the Messiah based on their OWN decision; based on what THEY knew to be truth. They didn't need the "learned men and religious leaders" to make their decisions for them. What kind of a God would we have if He created us with a dependence on others to make our decisions for us? Do we really believe that we must have a scientist who is trained in and ingrained in evolutionary science tell us what is truth? I hate to tell you folks, but it would be like finding a lost grain of sand in the ocean to find a scientist who would step forward and say that Noah's Ark had been found. One scientist that Ron took to the site, went on the television and said he believed this was most likely Noah's Ark—in fact, he said that he personally believed that it was. Yet, he later told Ron that the facility he worked for told him he could either work for them OR work on Noah's Ark. Today, this man is a vehement opponent of the site. Did the facts change? NO. Only his statement of opinion. This is a decision that the common folk will have to make for themselves.
But what about all the fancy and complicated scientific testing—how do we understand what it all means? It's not complicated at all. Ron made his living for 4 1/2 years doing complicated chemical analyses for Hercules Powder Company. But, he has these analyses done at reputable laboratories. The results are FACT, untainted by "managed results." If the tests show evidence of decayed or petrified wood, that is FACT. If the metal detector scans show the presence of iron at regularly-spaced intervals, this is FACT. There is scientific FACT and then there is THEORY. The boat-shaped object is shaped like a ship and it is the size of the Biblical ark, as translated into Royal Egyptian cubits. This is fact. It contains metal at even intervals—this is FACT.
"THEORY" is that it is an old replica of the ark, built in the time of Constantine, or that it is an old fortress. It is also "THEORY" that it is Noah's Ark. Circumstantial evidence. Like a court case, YOU decide, after sufficient evidence is presented, what it is. Just be very careful to separate the THEORY from the FACT. We believe this is Noah's Ark, and we are so convinced based on the tremendous amount of evidence that we will state our belief without hesitation. Others will state without hesitation that it is NOT the ark. It will ultimately come down to the fact of whether you believe it is within the realm of possibility for something to "look like a duck, quack like a duck, give birth to baby ducks, swim like a duck, and yet NOT BE A DUCK."
